          New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson missed Thursday night's 126-113 loss at the Golden State Warriors because of a sprained right ankle.

          He is listed as day-to-day. The next opportunity for Brunson to play is Saturday, when the Knicks host the Phoenix Suns.

          Brunson was injured in the opening minutes of Wednesday's 112-101 loss at the Sacramento Kings. He limped off the court at the 7:01 mark of the first quarter after an awkward step on a pass a minute earlier.

          Brunson sat out two games in mid-November because of a right ankle sprain against the Orlando Magic. Last season, he sat out nearly a full month after spraining his right ankle against the Los Angeles Lakers in March. Brunson also tweaked his foot multiple times during last season's playoff run to the Eastern Conference finals.
